Umbra launches its Umbra-09 and -10 radar satellite pair on SpaceX Transporter-11

Umbra/Umbra SAR constellation

Umbra launched a second tandem pair of radar satellites on SpaceX's Transporter-11 rideshare from Vandenberg, after Umbra-07 and -08 flew in November 2023. Pairs fly together for multi-satellite imaging. COO Todd Master said Umbra already delivers the largest volume of high-resolution SAR imagery over the areas customers want most.

• Paired operations enable data products only Umbra offers, the company says.
• Maxar has dedicated access to Umbra's SAR constellation.
• Umbra was then headquartered in Santa Barbara with offices in Austin and Washington.
